Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t appear to take the series-ending loss to the Indiana Pacers well on Tuesday night after getting into multiple altercations after the final buzzer. 

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winning shot, crossing over Antetokounmpo and driving to the basket for a right-handed layup to take the 119-118 lead with 1.3 seconds left to play. 

After the game, Antetokounmpo was paying his respects to several Pacers players, but things got weird when he and Indiana guard Benedict Mathurin embraced and appeared to have some words. However, Mathurin pushed Antetokounmpo away, and an altercation between both the Pacers and Bucks occurred on the court.

After the game, Antetokounmpo explained what happened with the altercation with Haliburton’s father, claiming he was waving a towel with his son’s face on it at him and cursing after the win.
